Thursday Doors: Thiers – Even(s) More
This, I promise, is the final instalment of the myriad interesting doors of Thiers, this time featuring the even numbers. The first is notable for its very elaborate stone surround:
I’ve put these next two side by side as they are like mirror images:
And these two because of their similar shapes. Note the ironwork above the door on the left:
Finally, judging by the debris in front of this door, something of a renovation project is going on behind it.
Next week we’re off somewhere closer to home that, on a recent visit, proved to be just as fascinating in the door department.
Thursday Doors 8 September 2016
A great selection of doors with hints of changes over the years.
That first one is eye-catching and I also like #18 (although I like them all.) Looks like a fair bit of restoration on the doors themselves and surrounding area wouldn’t be amiss, but they certainly have the good bones to make them attractive even now.

tattered and worn but aging well. The first and the last were my faves – nicely done.
“Tattered and worn, but aging well”….but enough about me. Thanks, as always, for the kind words.
Ah, the interesting and often beautiful doors of France. That is where I first started my door collection.
Certainly no shortage of great examples….
Great finds of old doors!
I appreciate it that you eye doesn’t only go to the doors in tip-top condition. And there are many similarities between French and Italian doors, I can see.
loved all of your doors – rich and story telling – and the one (8) with the busted stairs – adds more intrigue
